Teacher of English job summary
Are you passionate about helping children achieve their maximum potential, regardless of their starting point? If so, we invite you to join our vibrant team at Tudor Grange Academy Worcester where children flourish both academically, creatively and socially.
In October 2024, Ofsted commended the Academy: "The school aspires to offer a transformative experience for its pupils, and for many, it achieves this goal. Pupils feel genuinely cared for in this friendly, inclusive school. They know that trusted adults keep them safe and will act swiftly to help them if they have any worries. Pupils are encouraged to take full advantage of the distinctive opportunities available to nurture their talents and expand their horizons. As one pupil explained, 'There is something for everyone here.' "
We relentlessly pursue our mission to establish ourselves as a truly great school at the heart of the community we serve. The Academy is a diverse, inclusive school for girls and boys from Year 7 to Sixth Form, where high expectations are set for everyone in our community. Our TUDOR values—Tolerance, Unity, Democracy, Opportunity, and Respect—are the golden strands that run through every aspect of our school.
We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, creative and dedicated Teacher of English to join our popular and oversubscribed Academy. This is an exciting opportunity for an energetic and inspirational teacher who is passionate about teaching the subject of English. Both experienced and Newly Qualified Teachers are encouraged to apply.
